title: Induction of ovulation and pregnancy in a pituitary dwarf.
abstract: Females with pituitary dwarfism of the multiple pituitary hormone deficiency form have ovarian failure due to hypogonadotropism which would be expected to respond favorably to human gonadotropin treatment. This is a description of a pituitary dwarf in whom pregnancy was achieved with gonadotropin therapy; its progress was followed regularly by hormone assays.
